this book is for the girls who worry and worry, worry if they’re good enough, worry if they’ve achieved enough, worry if they’re enough. Harriet hasn't told them her and her fiance Wyn have broken up, so when she arrives to find Wyn there, acting like nothing has happened, it throws her for a minute. Was it only long distance, did one of them cheat, or is there any crucial, life-changing reason that tore them apart? Emily Henry is a bestselling American author of romantic and Young Adult fiction, best known for her TikTok-conquering novels Beach Read, You and Me on Vacation and Book Lovers. She doesn't want to create a disturbance by announcing their break-up, and Wyn seems to be on the same page.

I understand why he broke it off which even made sense and I don’t blame him for that, but the way he went about it was so frustrating and selfish. It’s a door in your heart, and once you know it’s there, you’ll spend your life longing for whatever’s behind it.Mientras leía no podía dejar de pensar que quería que tuvieran su final feliz porque lo merecían muchísimo. This book deserves every bit of hype that it has and will receive, and it gives me a glimmer of hope that I can still find that magical feeling of finding a new book that becomes a part of your soul, one that you carry with you on the rest of your journey here on earth and becomes part of your personality on a permanent basis. Of worth, of love, belonging, to be seen as you are, to just be enough and Emily Henry dissected and captured all of those uncomfortable emotions so well.

There is just one small problem with this plan - perfect couple Harriet and Wyn have actually been broken up for 6 months and neglected to tell their friends.we also become immersed in wyn and harriet’s past relationship and we are taken back to how they first met and fell in love.

it felt like this was an unrequited love trope or one person falling out of love, and had it actually been, i would have probably enjoyed it more. I tried not to think of her as a doormat even tho she clearly was one bc she was about to become a freaking NEUROSURGEON ! How hard could it be to stay in the same room, touching and kissing your ex in front of others when you are still harboring your unresolved feelings?Both these timelines allowed us to truly get to know our characters deeply, when life brought out the best in them as well as when life wasn’t working in their favour. when this book was first announced — before it had a title, or a cover, or a synopsis, or anything other than a weird beige placeholder and the words BY EMILY HENRY stamped on it — i made a solemn vow. This should've been a sign for me to stop reading it *sighs* I should've known at this point that he'd be a loser. How are we supposed to believe that this relationship will ever last long term, bc things will inevitably get rocky again as do all long-term relationships, but I can't believe that he will ever step up, if Harriet doesn't hold them together it will fail again. I really really really tried to like him for the first 150 pages or so BUT PICKING A SIDE TABLE MADE OUT OF SHOE BOXES (thank u for reminding me rasa) FROM THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WAS MY LAST STRAW.

I’ve read a few of this author’s novels now and whilst this was my least favourite, it’s still a nice read. i felt like she went in my head and articulated my thoughts about certain life experiences and emotions so well. i just love the way EH handles mental health topics and always manages to give so much emotional depth to her characters. The chemistry between Wyn and Harry is palpable, and the payoff after the pining throughout a good bit of the book is worth every bit of anxiety ridden, nail biting suspense. I'm not the brilliant doctor my parents wanted me to be, and I'm not the person who could give Wyn the happiness he deserves, and I'm not the friend Sabrina and Cleo needed.This book was such a lovely read and pulled at my heartstrings, broke my heart and put it together again through the course of the story. harriet has a tendency to push everyone away, including wyn; and wyn has a tendency to worry and overthink things—which in time ended up clashing together but it was handled so immaculately, i found it bearable and i just wanted to see them both get their happy ending. and as always emily henry books are gonna hit a little harder, linger a little closer, and stay a little longer than any other romance book.
